Get polyurethane motor mounts or inserts (Energy suspension and/or PTuning), and if you want to put some money into it, get an LSD.

yes the ES motor mounts are great, i also tried it with the DME ETD and it was really really stiff but the rattling at a stop light got annoying so i got rid of it. the ES feel great for daily street/highway driving and are great too at the drag strip, good thing they don't rattle the car as much as the ETD did at a stop light or i would probably hate the ES motor mounts

Absolutely love my energy suspension motormounts. Cheaper for the parts than an engine torque damper but the install price is higher. I got mine installed for $200. Of course you could try to tackle the install yourself but that was something I didn't want to mess with. Eliminates almost all wheel hop. The engine doesn't move at all.
